On deck: Padres at Dodgers, Sunday, 1 p.m., SNLA

Did you know: The Dodgers have 65 games after the All-Star break, which ties for the second-fewest games in a non-strike season in team history. In 1973, the Dodgers played only 61 games after the All-Star Game.

THE PITCHERS

LHP HYUN-JIN RYU (9-5, 3.65)

Ryu takes the mound following one of the worst starts of his career in a 14-5 loss at Detroit. Ryu allowed seven runs in 2 1/3 innings, the second time this season he’s given up at least seven runs in three innings or fewer. The other was a two-inning outing against San Francisco on April 4. He’s already had success against San Diego this season, though, posting two quality starts and 1-0 record.

Vs. Padres: 2-0, 0.93

At Dodger Stadium: 10-7, 3.08

Loves to face: Rene Rivera, 0 for 5 (.000)

Hates to face: Chris Denorfia, 4 for 9 (.444)

RHP TYSON ROSS (7-9, 2.93)

A former second-round pick of Oakland, Ross is in his second season with San Diego, but it’s his first as a full-time member of the starting rotation. Sixteen of his 35 appearances for the Padres last season were starts, and he posted a 3-8 record with a 3.17 ERA. This year, Ross is poised to post career highs in innings pitched and strikeouts, and he’s two starts removed from his first career complete-game shutout.
